Real Church Chicago

As a church we seek to be real and honest as each of us journeys spiritual. None of us are perfect, by nature we are flawed. So if you don’t have it all together and you are tired of religious games and you long to seek God in a community of friendly people, come join us! We’d love to meet you and do life together.

This is my home and my family. I look forward every week to coming together and checking in with everyone. The people here really, truly, and authentically love people.

Thank you for checking out Real Church Chicago!
We desire to be a church that functions with authenticity. The Church has been attacked by our culture as calling those who attend as hypocrites and liars. Unfortunately, we are guilty as charged. It used to be that Christ followers were called Christians, and that identity meant that we lived a life devoted and dedicated to Christ’s teachings and our lives matched that calling. Our vision is «to be real with ourselves, others and God.» Our name is intended to keep us focused on who we are and what we are trying to be. It challenges us. It says we are a church that strives to be real, authentic, true to Christ’s calling.
At Real Church we are willing to admit we fall short. We want to be real. We are attempting to live a life that honors and glorifies God. We desire to be real with ourselves about our emotional, relational and spiritual shortcomings. We desire to create a space and a church where perfection and faking are not attempted, but where real life can be shared honestly and openly as we transform through the active work of Christ. We desire to be real with God and confess our mistakes and disobedience. This confession does not give us permission to continue without aligning to God’s teachings, rather it invites us to receive His grace and inspires us toward growth. If you are tired of religious games, if you no longer want to fake your way through life, if you are willing to admit you do not know all the answers and that your life is not perfect, we would love to do life with you.
Sincerely,
Real Church Chicago
